Neeman from Israel, Public Profile

This tent is simple in construction and simple to pitch
The tent is roomy, but I use it as a solo tent
The vestibule is a great open area, works well in the rain, relieves the claustrophobia
Single skin tents have condensation, get over it or don't buy one, and carry a small towel to absorb the dampness.
There are two loops on the outside of the tent where the poles are placed
Add two guy lines (don't know why Agnes did not supply them)
Peg out the base of the tent, and place the poles in the sockets.
Then... guy out the two guy lines you added, the front first then the back
The tent is now standing and has the tension to the ridge of the tent
Then guy out the vestibule and the rear lines
The trick to getting the tent to be easy to pitch and taut is by using the added guy lines I highly recommend this tent
Get one as Agnes are not manufacturing them anymore

As you get it
It is a very simple self contained ultralight cookset for those cooking couscous or ramen noodles type meals
The mug fits a pocket rocket or any gas head with a very focused jet, it is not good for the stove heads that spread out the flame
The silicone mug can be used for pouring off water to make tea, and then the rest of the water for freeze dried meal
Or use the silicone mug to insulate the bottom to hold the mug
The cover is a bit odd, and is again for holding but not particularly good as a lid
.
To make this work as a long distance cookset
I spent some real money to upgrade
I dumped the silicone cover
I purchased a 450 ml single wall mug that nests inside the larger mug
I purchased 2 titanium for the large 750 pot and the 450 pot
The small gas head and lighter and tea goes into the 450
So I have a full self contained cook kit
I can cook real food
Drink tea or coffee in a real cup
And eat oatmeal on the morning in the silicone bowl
.
So as it comes it works as ultra light, ultra simple meals
And as I have upgraded it functions much better for a long term kit

This is a variable light lantern
Can be adjusted from very low to higher
The light output is that of a candle lantern
The ambient light is very useful and does not create this crazy glare
This works if you are cooking with gas canisters, as you have the fuel already
Get this instead of a candle lantern
This is lighter than an UCO Candle lantern
Decide if you have a almost empty gas canister, as the lantern will run for hours off a dead for cooking canister
But then there is the weight penalty, so use the dead canister if you are car camping

Very easy to light
No liquid wax
Need to move it
turn it off move it and light it
Need to be out of the wind, as it is sensitive to wind

Bomb proof in high quality SS
Learn to cook on stoves and fire
Burn it in the fire then scrub it clean
It will come back shining ready for more
Great for beginners or scouts
Light enough to take backpacking and over nighters
The large pot is 1 liter which is plenty for two people to cook on
The fry pan is large enough to do some real frying
Small pot is great for boiling water as a kettle for coffee or tea
And the price is great
Excellent value for such quality

Tough indestructible water and cooking kettle
Will take direct open flame
Can be hung over a fire
Long handles that are easy to use when over a stove (will need gloves when over an open fire)
Cleans easily so you can cook real food, not just a water/tea/coffee kettle (although is is a superb at that)
The inner pan of the Zebra pot fits inside, so you can use it for baking as you cook food
It is not ultralight, but is is not heavy and can easily be used for backpacking, especially if you will be using open fire
Sturdy SS does not burn when on high heat and the SS takes a real scrubbing, so easy to keep clean
I really like it

Easy to clean bowl that nests inside of one of my Snow Peak sets
Very useful to have an insulated bowl for keeping food warm and being able to hold in my hand
And very useful to have it nest
But it is heavy
And after spending so much money on ultra lightweight titanium, it seems silly to pay weight penalty on the silicone bowl
As so a plastic bowl would work well if you are not going to use it to nest in a set, hence the lesser stars on function
it would get 5 stars on quality

A well made tough little tin mug
The problem with tin mugs is they are so hard to clean at the bottom
Snow Peak has done it!
The bottom is rounded with no corners for gunge
So it is very easy to clean and keep clean
Very important in the field to have clean eating gear

It fits well and will not fall off, but it does not stop spills
Yes it insulated but it is too heavy for backpacking
A titanium lid will insulate just as well because the real heat loss is convection, so you do not need the heavy plastic insulated lid

Very comfortable and I sleep on my side
It does its job well
Needs a pillow, for some reason it seems to feel lower from by shoulder
BUT
30 deep puffs to get it blown up (loses a star)
that is a lot, but okay because it is comfortable

The advertized pack size is the stuff sack the mat comes
It is fiction
It is impossible to roll the mat back to a size that will get back into the sack
It is very annoying every morning to fight the mat to try and get it into the stuff sack
It needs to come in a sack at least 1/2 to 1/3 bigger and advertize the real pack size (loses a star)

It is a lightweight folding pillow like many others etc
But
The four triangles coming to the center holds my head in place, both on my back head and on the side of my head
A very comfortable pillow, this design is what makes the pillow special
